This sounds like some fun. I'll put this in the hopper and see if it flies!

They're expecting well over 300 planes, have 40+ acres of parking, gonna feed everyone spagetti, lots of events, etc, and the main thing (to me) is the absolutely amazing GA museum.
When they finish the list of worlds most amazing things, this will be about # 11.

I'm planning to get there mid day Friday

Will it be smokey there?? Sounds good, I'm going to try and make it, it's been years since I've been that low ASL, I'm overdue.

Currently working the Halstead fire in Stanley Idaho. Should be home in time for Hood river. Best fly-in on the west coast. See you there.

Stevenson, Washington is 14.5 SM@ 255* directly across the river from Cascade Locks airport. They have cams pointing east, west, and south. Pretty good indicator what is going on in the area.

Here is the TV 2 cam. If you see Mt. Hood the Hood River airport will be in the foreground. They can point the cam any direction though and you never know what they will do.

Hood River ASOS is 134.375. Grass runway is between the taxiway on the north side and the runway. Men and equipment staging to the north of the taxiway where the previous unofficial runway was. We're on the verge of shifting the runway to the east. Big project, luckily the runway won't be closed. Rob, check your PM's

LittleJohn and I plan to get there about 3pm.

Cheers...Rob

Bad timing for a fire to start. It is directly across the river from Hood River AKA Ken Jernstedt airport. There is a TFR close so don't bust it. The wind should keep the smoke off the airport.

Headed to da airport!! eeee haw

Grass runway is between the taxiway on the north side and the runway

Looking at Airnav I am assuming the grass strip is in the longer grass area to the West of the exit about 3/4 the way down. Can we land in both directions on the grass?

Let us know how the smoke from the fire across the river. Does not look too bad right now, but don't know the wind direction.

No smoke. Very nice. Grass both ways. Flyin now.

Beautiful day!! Tons of great planes. Dinner at 6. donknee is on the way, Kennychapman is here. The adult beverages are flowing. Yee haw
